Sorry, but there is no way to edit these processing instructions with XXE.
There is no bug here. XXE is a ``root element editor'', not a document
editor. (Well, you may consider this as being a bug.)
However, you can probably generate CSS content for these processing
instructions, using something like:
---
rfc:before {
display: block;
content: xpath("...");
}
---
See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/csssupport/ch05s32.html
We have never tested this, but we think it should work.
